    Again, you can use pulled chicken or rotisserie chicken. You can even make this with ground turkey or ground beef if you want.

    January 23 - Pork Carnitas

    Instant Pot Pork Carnitas are one of my most favorite recipes and a fun twist on taco night.

    If you don't have an instant pot, you can make the pork in your slow cooker, then crisp it up in the oven.

    Serve with once of these yummy salsa recipes or some homemade guacamole.

    • Pineapple Mango Salsa in a bowl with a spoon next to corn chips.
    • Strawberry Salsa with red onions and jalapeno in a small bowl.
    • Close up of homemade mango salsa on a chip.

    Feeling nostalgic? Try this Old Fashioned Tuna Noodle Casserole recipe. It's creamy, cheesy, and crunchy - and just the perfect thing for when you need a warm comfort food meal.

    Serve with a light salad or you can add in more frozen veggies if you want.

    What could be better on a cold snowy night than a piping hot bowl of Sweet Potato Soup topped with bacon?

    I love serving it with these cheesy ranch tater tots. You could also serve with Italian breadsticks or buttery dinner rolls for a complete meal.
